Man, talk about thread drift huh Bob.

Generalist is a word I learned since I joined this association.

It appears to me from what I can transalate from my French mind, that it means Master of all trades, but master of none.

The green on the copper lines is excess flux that was left when the copper joint was soldered.

I figured excess flux as I put in the post. I'll let the homeowner know to wipe it clean before he puts the house up for sale but I will be reading that article, thanks for the info.
